Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis presents two of Andrea Jaeger's work: XA (2013) and What is left behind (2010).

XA refers to the section of the film negative that is exposed
when the roll of film is inserted into the camera body.
Discarded as trash in the photo laboratory, this artefact is
astonishing in its own particular aesthetic quality, which
takes the form of elemental originality. The work of art
appears as its own kind of agent, as a kind of hybrid, to
quote Bruno Latour. The present project is interested in
the play of forms inherent in the medium as an expression
of the interaction between photographer, camera and
photographic material during the analogue era.

"What is left behind" recounts the story of the industrial
past on Long Island, New York. Today, this past can only
be reconstructed through pictures. Jaeger is fascinated
by the beauty of the transitory. However, she is concerned
less with documenting urban change than with
observing transcience itself. A language of forms reflected
in the material and the perspective onto it evokes
feelings of decay, change and oblivion.
